The proposed master plan constitutes a comprehensive and strategic response to the vision of renewing Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, while emphasizing Zionist, economic, and security values. The plan shapes a vital, functioning, and connected space, integrated into the southern region and unique due to its geographical location and inherent economic and security potential.
Program components include:

    Establishing two central cities in the north and south, with advanced and balanced urban planning that includes approximately 300,000 housing units and a population of over a million residents.

    A leading university research center in the fields of agriculture and maritime affairs, for 25,000 students.

    A modern high-tech and commercial park, spanning 4,800 dunams and offering thousands of jobs.

    An industrial zone in the south, near the Egyptian border, with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea and opening up land and sea trade opportunities.

    A coastal tourist complex that will include a strip of hotels, resort villages and water sports activities.

    An advanced agricultural zone that will continue agricultural development in the Negev and the area surrounding Gaza.

    Green areas around the Besor River that are integrated with tourism, recreation and extreme sports activities.

    The plan is based on guiding principles of security and economic advancement, and its purpose is to form a solid foundation for Jewish prosperity and stability in the entire region.

As a first step and out of thinking about practical ways to implement a national settlement plan, the Nahla movement acted, as is customary in Zionist realization throughout the generations, and began immediately after the outbreak of the war, by forming settlement nuclei for aliyah to the land.

Currently, there are over 1,000 families registered in 6 settlement nuclei who are ready to immigrate to the area immediately under pioneering conditions.

Absorption and exit mechanisms have already been successfully tested in other areas, and can also be implemented in Gaza.
Conclusion

The migration of the Gazan population is not "collective punishment" – but a humane and effective solution.

This is a familiar mechanism in protracted conflicts, which has made it possible to restore human lives, reduce the extent of suffering – and lead to long-term stability.

After October 7, the Gazan population was denied the legitimacy to continue living in this space —

In light of involvement, support, or silence in the face of unprecedented atrocities.

The expulsion of the civilian population – by choice and/or as part of an arrangement –

It is a necessary step in clearing the battlefield and transforming it into a space for life, agriculture, industry, tourism, and Jewish settlement.

Hardline America Firster and staunch Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene voted alongside progressive Democrat Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to strip Israel of $500m in US funding, hours after it bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.

The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.

It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as "security assistance" every year.

The Palestinian health ministry said on Monday that Hams, who also oversees field hospitals in the Gaza Strip, was on his way to visit the ICRC facility in northern Rafah when undercover Israeli soldiers opened fire, killing one person and wounding another civilian, before capturing him.

The person killed was a local journalist who had been conducting an interview with al-Hams at the time of the attack.

The New York lawmaker voted against an amendment by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene last week that sought to block $500m in Congress' annual defence spending bill for Israel's Iron Dome programme.

Fellow Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar [as well as Democrats Al Green of Texas, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania and Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky - PL] had supported Taylor Greene's amendment, which eventually lost in a 422-6 vote.

In a post on X on Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Greene's amendment did "nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza".

LONDON (AP) — Twenty-five countries including #Britain, #France and a host of #European nations issued a joint statement on Monday that puts more pressure on #Israel, saying the war in #Gaza “must end now” and Israel must comply with international law.

The foreign ministers of countries including #Australia, #Canada and #Japan said “the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.” They condemned “the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food.”

The statement described as “horrifying” the deaths of over 800 #Palestinians who were seeking aid...

The Western media’s blind eye to Israel’s underlying crimes reveals a deeper, more disturbing dynamic: a duality of both subconscious and conscious racism.

From the diaspora to the occupied territories and the Palestinian minority in Israel, left-wing forces have played a major role in organizing popular struggles for democratic rights in Palestine. A new Jacobin podcast series looks at their impact and legacy.

An Israeli special forces unit opened fire near an International Committee of the Red Cross field hospital in Gaza on Monday, killing two Palestinians, including a journalist, and abducting Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, head of field hospitals in the enclave, according to reports.

In the last year and a half, thousands of left-wing American Jews have protested Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. They are taking part in a long tradition of anti-Zionist Jewish radicalism in the United States.

Israeli authorities have refused to renew the visa of Jonathan Whittall, Head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territories, following his outspoken condemnation of Israel’s actions against starving civilians in Gaza.

Whittall, who resides in Jerusalem and frequently visits Gaza, has repeatedly denounced the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave. In recent statements, he described Israel’s conduct as a deliberate attempt to erase Palestinian life.

“What we are witnessing is a massacre. Hunger is being used as a weapon. This is forced displacement. This is a death sentence for people who are simply trying to survive,” Whittall said on Sunday.

“All these elements appear to form a process aimed at wiping out Palestinian life from Gaza,” he added.
